Immortality begins with sect servants

Li An drank two pots of tea and read a few books tirelessly. It was not until midnight that the teahouse was about to close, and then he stretched out and left. Before leaving, he threw a spiritual stone on the table as a tip.

From that day on, every now and then, he would go to the teahouse and sit and read, reading all day long.

The main reason why Li An did this was because according to his repeated observations, the Yundao Teahouse was Song Mingzhang's favorite place to stay!

However, he did not rush to contact the other party, but quietly read a book and drank tea.

In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed.

"Mr. Zuo, what kind of books are these? I see you read them every day, don't you feel tired?"

On this day, Li An came to the teahouse again. The waiter led him to sit down in a familiar corner and asked curious questions.

Li An and the waiter in the store had already become acquaintances. They knew that although Li An was a foundation-building cultivator, he was easy-going and approachable, so he dared to say a few words to Li An.

Li An's alias in the city is "Zuo Wen".

"These are all miscellaneous books,"

Li An smiled slightly, "Astronomy and geography, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, anecdotes, legendary travel notes... I read everything."

The waiter was surprised, "Even children like to read these things, especially anecdotes! I didn't expect you to like them too..."

Li An said: "Of course, come on, come on, I'm giving you this "Travel Notes on the Northern Country". It contains a lot of strange things about Dali's northern frontier, hahaha."

After saying that, he handed the waiter a book, and the waiter hurriedly said: "Mr. Zuo, I don't dare to ask for it..."

"Just take it if you are told to do so. Don't refuse. This is not a precious thing. I bought it for ten spiritual stones. I gave it to you as a souvenir. If you feel it's inappropriate, just give it back to me after reading it." .”

When the waiter heard this, he quickly wiped his hands and took it respectfully from Li An's hand.

"Thank you Mr. Zuo, thank you Mr. Zuo!"

"Mr. Zuo, please wait a moment, I will serve you tea right away!"

The waiter then left.

Li An continued to read.

Over the past year, he has continued to study while practicing.

Although he was studying in order to enter the Treasure Pavilion, he had read a lot of books, covering everything, which really made him gain a lot.

Even in his previous life, he had no time to settle down and study seriously.

…

"Xiao Chen, what did the guest give you?"

As soon as Xiao Chen walked into the back hall, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar had already spoken.

This person is the teahouse owner - Cai Chao.

The waiter hurriedly took out the book and handed it to Cai Chao.

Cai Chao opened it and looked at it one by one, only to see that the thin book was actually densely packed with notes.

"At the beginning of the fifth year of Emperor Yuan of Dali, a strange snake rose into the sky from Qinghe County. It breathed flames from its mouth and could burn for dozens of miles. It was a serious problem..."

This is the content of the book, and the note next to it reads:

"Qinghe County Chronicles" records that there are many fire mines in the county. "Minutes of Minerals" says that fire mines can contain fire essence, and strange snakes will hatch from the fire mines, so they are born with the ability to use fire...

This is just one of them.

Cai Chao couldn't help but be surprised.

There are many people who like to read these miscellaneous books, but this guest is actually so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. From a simple record, the whole story can be analyzed...

This left article is not simple.

"A solid foundation-building practitioner is actually interested in these things..."

Cai Chao was doubtful, but immediately returned the book to the waiter, "Learn more from this gentleman. Those novels about cultivating immortals that you usually read are useless."

"I'll serve 'Bi Hu Chun' to this gentleman later."

"okay!"

…

Before leaving on this day, Li An said to the waiter: "Brother Xiao Chen, your master has given me tea. I have something to say to your master."

Xiao Chen said: "Mr. Zuo, please speak."

Li An knocked on the table, "Your master probably bought the wrong one for this spiritual pattern wooden table."

He smiled and said, "Goodbye."

…

The next day.

When Li An arrived again, the boss Cai Chao personally served him tea.

"Friend Zuo!"

Cai Chao was very polite, "I am Cai Chao, the owner of this place. I wonder what is wrong with this spiritual pattern wooden table?"

Li An said: "It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Cai!"

He hesitated for a moment, "This wooden table is actually not spirit-grained wood, but Quwen wood."

Cai Chao was shocked. Spirit-grained wood was very precious. The tables and chairs in his teahouse alone cost thousands of spirit stones!

Taking the high-end route.

But Quwenmu is very cheap.

Did you actually let someone fool you?

"The two types of wood are almost identical. The only difference is that the degree of aura is different. If you want to use Quwen wood to pretend to be spirit wood, you only need to cultivate it in the spirit gathering array for a period of time to make Quwen wood full of aura. In this way, It can be fake and real.”

"But the spiritual energy of Quwen wood fades very quickly, which is far inferior to that of Lingwen wood which remains unchanged even after fifty years of use. If I guess correctly, Brother Cai bought these tables and chairs three years ago, right?... "

Li An explained with a smile.

Cai Chao suddenly realized: "What Brother Zuo said is exactly right... Thank you Brother Zuo for clearing up the confusion, thank you Brother Zuo!"

At the same time, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he actually dared to deceive himself.

No wonder my desk and chair are only a few years old and already seem a bit old!

"Brother Cai, please don't let anyone know about this. Zuo Wen told you... Zuo just wants to study in peace."

Li An smiled.

"Cai understands!"

Cai Chao had someone serve Li An the finest Bihuchun, and then left in a hurry.

…

After this day, Li An did not go to the teahouse for several days.

And the third day.

In front of Yun Dao Tea House, a luxurious carriage stopped. An old man in white robe slowly got down and walked into the tea house.

"Master Song, you are here, please come in quickly!"

The waiter greeted me enthusiastically.

"Huh? Why did your tables and chairs suddenly change?"

As soon as Song Mingzhang entered the teahouse, he noticed the changes in the teahouse.

"Reporting to Master Song, Xiaoke has been tricked..."

Cai Chao came out and said: "The tables and chairs before were all made of Quwen wood. They have been left there for so long... I really made everyone laugh!"

When Song Mingzhang heard this, he laughed instantly and patted Cai Chao on the shoulder, "You finally discovered it."

"When you bought it three years ago, I had already discovered that the spiritual energy of Quwen wood had not been lost at that time, and it was not much different from the spirit pattern wood. I might as well let you use it for a few years, and then tell you, wouldn't it be a waste to return it at that time? Well...haha, I didn’t expect you to find out on your own.”

Cai Chao said: "Xiao Ke didn't find out, it was a Taoist friend who told me..."

"Oh? Fellow Taoist? Do you have friends in the lumber business?"

"No, this fellow Taoist is not a lumber dealer, he is just a person who loves reading..."

He immediately explained the cause and effect.

Song Mingzhang was surprised.

Only a veteran who has been involved in the wood business for decades can discover the difference between Quwen wood and Lingwen wood.

Song Mingzhang knew it because he had extensive knowledge and the ability to appraise treasures.

But now, a little-known figure actually has such vision.

It's quite rare.

"Where is this person?" he asked.

"Fellow Daoist Zuo hasn't been here for a few days. Master Song, are you still drinking 'Tian Yang Chen' today?"

"Um."

Cai Chao immediately went to make tea himself.

…

After seven or eight days, Li An came to the teahouse again.

Cai Chao was bored in the building, so he came out to chat with Li An. After this incident, the relationship between the two suddenly became closer.

When Cai Chao talked about Song Mingzhang, Li An was pleasantly surprised, "Do you know Master Song?"

"Great...Brother Cai, can you please do me a favor?"

"Brother Zuo, please tell me,"

Li An said: "I want to buy two books from Master Song. He must have them in his hands."

Cai Chao's brows suddenly wrinkled imperceptibly. Zuo Wen wanted to ask him to help him buy books?

Because Song Mingzhang often comes to the teahouse, many people who want to ask for Song Mingzhang will also come here. He has seen a lot!

Could it be that Zuo Wen came to the teahouse to get close to Song Mingzhang?

But, it shouldn't be... After all, Zuo Wen has been here for more than a year.

When you are looking for a job normally and ask for help from others, who would wait so long?

"I wonder what book Brother Zuo wants to buy?" he asked.

"A "Defense of Alchemy" and a "Knowing of Grass". Zuo searched all over Tianyang City but couldn't find these two books. After thinking about it, maybe only masters like Master Song might have them. Cangben..."

"If this master is unwilling to sell it, Zuo is willing to borrow it!"

Cai Chao nodded, "Okay, I'll try."

…

A few days later, when Song Mingzhang came to drink tea, Cai Chao told him about it.

Song Mingzhang was slightly thoughtful.

As a treasure appraiser, there are many people approaching him, and many of them want to use his "love of reading" personality to study and get close to him.

"That's all. You, Boss Cai, rarely do things for others, so I can't refute your reputation. If I lend him these two books for a month, I won't have to give him the spirit stone."

"Hey, the knowledge in these two books is not easy to understand!"

…

After a while, Li An went to the teahouse, and Cai Chao suddenly came over and said with a smile: "Brother Zuo, you should treat me to a drink!"

As he said this, he took out two books, which were the key to distinguishing elixirs and the art of discerning grass.

"I heard from Master Song that these two books are out of print and only a few treasure appraisers from Zhenbao Pavilion still have them. You have found the right person!"

"The old man said he would lend you his care for a month."

Li An was ecstatic and said: "Brother Cai, don't worry, it won't take a month, ten days... no, three days, Zuo Wen only needs three days!"

…

After returning to his residence, Li An forgot to eat and sleep.

Three days later, he returned the book as expected.

…

When Cai Chao returned the book to Song Mingzhang, Song Mingzhang was quite surprised. So Zuo Wen only read it for three days?

He flipped through the pages and found that the bookmarks he left in the tree were intact, and there were not many signs of turning on the pages.

"Love reading?"

He couldn't help but smile, remembering Cai Chao's previous evaluation of this person.

It seemed like what he thought, just a trick to get close to him?

Did you give up after reading the book?

He shook his head and said nothing more.

When Cai Chao saw Song Mingzhang's smile, he suddenly realized that he had guessed correctly. Li An was approaching deliberately...

Next, Cai Chao's attitude towards Li An suddenly became cold. Especially when he learned about this incident and Li An enthusiastically inquired about Song Mingzhang's situation from Xiao Chen, he couldn't help but sneer.

But Li An still often went to drink tea and read books. Even if Cai Chao's attitude changed, it did not affect him at all.

In fact, he had already found out everything about Song Mingzhang.

But he won't be anxious. Now the other party obviously regards him as a clinging person like everyone else.

You need to be patient and use patience to distinguish yourself from other people!

…

Just like that, another four years have passed!

On this day, Li An drank tea as usual, but asked Xiao Chen to invite Cai Chao to see him.

When Cai Chao heard Xiao Chen's report, he was stunned for a moment. In the past few years, he no longer cared about Zuo Wen at all and almost forgot about this person.

Four years ago, this guy seemed to have played a trick, trying to use himself to get close to Song Mingzhang...

In a blink of an eye, Zuo Wen has been studying in the teahouse for five years? ?

He was a little suspicious for a moment. Did he guess wrong back then?

He has seen too many people who want to get close to Song Mingzhang, but who can persist for five years?

Moreover, in the past five years, except for borrowing two books that year, Li An had not had any contact with Song Mingzhang.

He thought for a moment and walked out immediately:

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zuo is calling me. What's the important matter?"

He smiled warmly.

Li An said: "I would like to ask fellow Taoist Cai for a favor."

"Fellow Taoist, please tell me."

Li An is neither humble nor arrogant. "Four years ago, I was given a book by Master Song to read. I heard that Master Song's granddaughter was suffering from the disease of 'yin ulcer'. Recently, Li An has gained a lot from reading and thought of a good prescription, which may help Master Song’s granddaughter is useful.”

He took out a package of elixir and handed it to Cai Chao, "This is the medicinal material I prepared. In addition, this is the origin of the prescription. Please also present it to Master Song."

"Zuo is very grateful."

Cai Chao was stunned for a moment. Treat Master Song's granddaughter's illness?

Master Song is a treasure appraiser. How many experts he has hired over the years have failed to cure his granddaughter Song Anning's illness. Just rely on Li An?

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, why don't you hand it over to Master Song yourself?" he asked.

Li An smiled: "Master Song has an honorable status. Zuo Wen is a poor cultivator. He is ashamed of himself. He only wants to repay his kindness and will not bother others -"

Cai Chao said: "Okay, I will give it to Master Song on your behalf."

Li An left after being polite.

…

Soon after, Song Mingzhang came to the teahouse, and Cai Chao presented Li An's things:

"Mr. Song, I have a joke to tell you then..."

"Do you still remember that Zuo Wen from four years ago?"

"He actually said a few days ago that it was really laughable to think that Fang Zi could cure Miss An Ning's illness..."

Song Mingzhang picked up the medicinal materials doubtfully, examined them carefully, and then picked up the prescription written by Li An. Looking at the small words Ming Zhengjuanxiu on the prescription, he couldn't help but be startled:

"joke?"

"What kind of joke is this...This is something that will save my granddaughter's life!"

He stood up suddenly and grabbed Cai Chao, "Where is this Zuo Wen???"

…
